Pato
1: Seedorf had flu the days before the derby, so he was unable to be really involved in the derby (not for a long time). If Allegri had put him on the pitch from the first minute, he would have been blamed for that as Seedorf wasn't 100% fit.

2: when Seedorf plays for more than 30 minutes, everyone says Allegri is "use the word you prefer" because he uses Seedorf ...

Flame, if now, people (including you) blame Allegri when he doesn't use Seedorf or almost, that means whatever Allegri will do, he will be blamed !!
One should not speak ill of the dead.
So stop laughing at Juventus !

Geo, if you read my posts before the derby, I was suggesting an attacking line of.
Binho - Ibra - Pato.

And if Seedorf could play 10 minutes, then he could play 20 or 30.
If not, there was no reason fielding him for 10 minutes either.

^ This.

+ Waiting too damn long to make subs.

For you subs at 66, 80, 83 minutes are ok when we are losing a derby and look impotent in attack? Seriously? Giving Seedorf 10 minutes to create something for us? LOL

Subs at the 80th minute are only done if you are winning and trying to waste time or have a player injured.

I am not Allegri's #1 fan and I also hate his substitutions - BUT,

yesterday he did all the substitutions (and timings) pretty perfectly in my opinion... IMO his only flaw was leaving Robinho on the bench infavour of Pato (or Emanuelson for some people).

I've been on the fence regarding Pato situation for a long time now. However, it's Pato or Ibra. One has to go. Tevez MUST be brought in. We're lacking something.

Regarding Allegri, I liked his move Urby to LB, Robinho in. Should have probably happened from the Start. Seedorf should not play anymore.

Every Inter fan / player seems to think that way.
Milan fans on the other hand rate him much more poorly.

^^ That's because we see every single game he plays. Inter fans probably only see a few Milan games every so often. I doubt Milan fans follow every single Inter game either. So I would say we're in a much better position to rate him.
Siamo a posto cosi.

Looks like the replacement of Pato during the derby had nothing to do with his performance but was wanted from the start as Allegri said about Pato: "I'm happy with what Pato did during the derby. I asked him to play 60 minutes intensively, in the second half, he did a bit less good, but I'm satisfied of him. I'm confident that he will soon score goals again and these will be important goals for the season."

Ancelotti talked about Pato and just put some agents in trouble by giving the names of the players that these agents wanted him to take in Paris ...
"There is something we don't know ... We'll see. In January, we won't talk anymore about him [Pato]. The names that some agents offered me, other than Tevez, are Torres, Berbatov, Pavlyuchenko, Cavani, Llorente."
The first sentences about Pato also show that we should be prepared to have another Pato-PSG saga during the next mercato window, when PSG will be in CL.

I am happy that Allegri is more gentle on Pato in public, but honestly, I don't see Allegri willing to change tactic to accommodate Pato. That means Pato needs to take advantage of every (few) chance coming his way, if he truly wishes to stay in Milan. Of course, if he just wants to leave, it is a different story.

As I said before, this half season is going to be make or break for him at Milan.
